N2  - This study aimed to realize an integrative review of the literature about suicide and old age based on data from Scielo, Pepsi, LILACS, and Index Psi during the period of 2007 to 2017, published in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. Among the findings were recovered 873 articles, wherein 864 were eliminated due to the inclusion and exclusion which composed the process of research screening. The main criteria were: articles that missed the point, languages, repeated articles in databases or out of the selected period. After reading in full the 9 articles filtrated, three thematic categories emerged: a) Risk Factors, b) Family Relationships and c) Suicide in Old Age and Public Health. It is concluded that there is a shortage of publications that approach suicide in old age. It is perceived the necessity of deepening discussion that articulate the process of aging and the biopsychosocial challenges throughout life. © Copyright Licencia creative commons Ética de publicaciones Revisión por pares Gestión por Open Journal System.<p /> <p>Language: pt</p>
